Some of the doctoral students from the first cohort started the new, interdisciplinary graduate program PhoQS-FUTURE with a varied Kick-off event at the Meiwes Adventure Park. The aim of the program is to support the doctoral students not only in their research area, but also in scientific exchange across disciplines. The group is accompanied and supported by the program coordinator Dr. Anna Bauer.
The Kick-off event offered the doctoral…
From March 16 to 21, 2025, the Spring Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section (SKM) of the German Physical Society (DPG) took place in Regensburg. With more than 6,000 participants, it is Germany’s largest physics conference and an important platform for researchers and industry representatives from all fields of physics and technology. Dr. Christof Eigner and Dr. Michael Rüsing from the Paderborn Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS)…
On March 11, 2025, the annual project meeting of the BMBF project „Heranführung der Generation Z an die Denkweise in der Quantenphysik – HedwiQ“ (Introducing Generation Z to quantum physics thinking) took place. This time, the meeting place was not a seminar room at the university, but the CoolMint student laboratory at the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, because we had something to celebrate (LinkedIN post). The first experimental modules, which had…
On the 27th of March, the Optica Student Chapter of Paderborn organized a half-day workshop on scientific writing and publishing held by Dr. Claus Roll, Senior Deputy Director of Optica. The event focused on the preparation for writing a scientific article, its structure, journal selection, as well as the ethical issues governing experiments and the publishing process.
Special thanks to Optica and PhoQS for financial support!
